A Comparison of the Electrochemical Oxidative Dissolution of Pyrite and Chalcopyrite in Dilute Nitric Acid Solution

open access: yesChemistryOpen, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2025.
This research was primarily driven by the aim to extract residual encapsulated gold in sulfidic minerals, which would require the dissolution of the mineral. The electrochemical oxidation of pyrite and chalcopyrite in 0.5 M nitric acid was investigated here, using cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, to see if there are any ...

Bio-mining of Lanthanides from Red Mud by Green Microalgae

open access: yesMolecules, 2019
Red mud is a by-product of alumina production containing lanthanides. Growth of green microalgae on red mud and the intracellular accumulation of lanthanides was tested. The best growing species was Desmodesmus quadricauda (2.71 cell number doublings/day)

C-di-GMP Pathway in Biomining Bacteria

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Research, 2009
Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, A. thiooxidans, and A. caldus are acidophilic Gram-negative -proteobacteria involved in the bioleaching of metal sulfides. Bacterial attachment to mineral surface and biofilm development play a pivotal role in this process.

BioMine-DB: A database for metazoan biomineralization proteins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Biomineralization is the process by which living organisms construct hard skeletons creating complex structures that range from specialized tissues such as bone or teeth to ecosystems such as coral reefs. Biominerals are composed of both inorganic minerals and proteins, which give them extra hardness and special attributes.

Investigation of particles with high crack density produced by HPGR and its effect on the redistribution of the particle size fraction in heaps [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The application of comminution technology such as the High-pressure grinding rolls (HPGR), which is able to generate a high density of cracks in the ore particles, is favourable for leaching processes.

Redox transformations of iron at extremely low pH: fundamental and applied aspects

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2012
Many different species of acidophilic prokaryotes, widely distributed within the domains Bacteria and Archaea, can catalyze the dissimilatory oxidation of ferrous iron or reduction of ferric iron, or can do both.
